The Book of the
Prophet Isaiah

Chapter 18

that
sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus upon the waters,
saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people
terrible from their beginning onward, a nation that meteth out and treadeth
down, whose land the rivers divide!

They shall be left together
unto the ravenous birds of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth; and
the ravenous birds shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth
shall winter upon them.

In that time shall a present be brought unto Jehovah of hosts
from a people tall and smooth, even from a people terrible from their
beginning onward, a nation that meteth out and treadeth down, whose land the
rivers divide, to the place of the name of Jehovah of hosts, the mount Zion.
